[Relic discussion] The Lone Wolf's Lament ~Cloudy Wolf~: Bringing Crazy Motorcycle to FFRK. FF7-AC
Still more fighting. Always more fighting.
This is the dawn of a couple of new ages, keepers. First, we have our first Burst Soul Break weapon; sure, it's for Cloud, but isn't it Cloud's destiny to be first or near first at everything? And second, we have a new relic paradigm. The SSB and BSB weapons are at 1% chance to pull each; the other relics 2% each; and the "off-banner" at but 1%, for a total of 13% to catch rainbows.
Let's see how this works.
Banner 1: "Nanaki finally gets his SSB!"
| Item | Type | Stats | Soul Break | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Fusion Sword | Sword | 123 ATK | Cloud BSB, "Fenrir Overdrive" (entry: 100% random physical per hit, 8 hits) | See below |
| Magic Comb | Hairpin | 113 ATK, 86 MAG | Nanaki SSB, "Stardust Ray" (78% random ranged physical per hit, 10 hits, and casts Shellga) | - |

| Pole Axe | Spear | 122 ATK | Cid, "Hyper Jump" (128% single Jump per hit, 4 hits, with self Haste and ATK/DEF +35% as status 611 | Has confuse proc |
| Platinum Fist | Fist | 120 ATK | Tifa, "Burning Arrow" (250% single ranged physical per hit, 2 hits, with party ATK=35% as status 603 | - |
Banner 2: "Tifa gets an SSB too!"
| Item | Type | Stats | Soul Break | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Fist | Fist | 122 ATK | Tifa SSB, "Dolphin Blow" (195% single physical per hit, 4 hits, with self ATK +50% as status 603 | - |

| 4-Point Shuriken | Thrown | 106 ATK, 68 MAG | Yuffie, "Landscaper" (120% AoE ranged Earth physical per hit, 3 hits, with Slow proc at net 48.8%) | - |
| Keepsake Ribbon | Hat | 28 MAG, 30 MND, 61 DEF, 113 DEF | Aerith, "Planet Protector" (party: ATK +50% as status 603) | Resists silence |
The common items are Precious Watch (bangle with shared SB: party cure (h35)) and Basilisk Claw (non-SB dagger with Petrify proc.)
Introduction to BSB:
A Burst Soul Break has three aspects to it: an entry attack (which is of Super Soul Break quality), a self-Haste, a Trance (+20% to all stats except Speed, and +10% to Speed, for 15 seconds; stacks with everything), and "mode attacks" that replace your Attack and Defence commands with special attacks that cost no resources to use, are of roughly 4.5* strength, and generate 50 SB meter per use. This replacement persists while Trance does. Note that the benefits of the Haste, Trance, and mode attacks go to the summoner of a Roaming Warrior BSB.
Cloud's BSB mode attacks:
Quad Cut: 50% single physical per hit, 4 hits. 80% chance of critical.
Whirl Slash: 70% AoE physical per hit, 2 hits. 80% chance of critical.
Welcome to the new standard. Lots of character goodies, a couple of super-weapons, and a couple cheapies.
Should I pull: This is a much harder decision than Jecht, even though Triple Super may be imminent. With the frequency of 7 events, these items will give their RS benefits much more often; but you won't find any hastega or strong medicas here. We're also going to start seeing better banners and more impressive items. Either choice will be right here, I think.
